Spotify Wrapped's got nothing on Ananya Panday. The actor has the coolest retro playlist that goes well with the vibe of her shoot - as she twirls in metallics, sheer, and gives glam that aligns with the mood of the month.
It's December, and it's all about reflection and resolutions. Panday sits with us to look back at the year that has been, and what's on her moodboard for 2024.
GRAZIA: Let's start with the year in review. You had Dream Girl 2, and you have Kho Gaye Hum Kaban releasing this month. On a personal note, you even bought your first house this year. How has 2023 been for you?
ANANYA PANDAY: The first eight months of this year have been the busiest of my life since I started working. I've shot three movies and one TV show [her OTT debut Call Me Bael, with overlapping schedules. It was quite overwhelming, and the show is my debut in the web series format, so that was new. I also shot for a film that we completed in 16 days. I've done a lot of new things this year, especially on celluloid.
This year, for me, has brought in a lot of change. I'd remember 2023 as the year I grew up - maybe it's because I turned 25, maybe it's because of new responsibility with my own house - I've just grown. I have seen a lot of my patterns for the first time, I've made constructive changes, and evolved. I think this is the year of change and growth.
G: You also made your debut about a year before the pandemic - as a new actor who had to convince the audience and prove herself, was working during such a time hard for you?
